" About two months after this meeting, I received an invitation to breakfast with Lord Hailes ( Sir David Dalrymple).

I have aotaally discovered the wholet New Testament, except seven or eleven verses ( I forgot which); which satisfies me that I could discover them also.

Scranton, May 2,1807—ly Proprie tor. He was bashful, extremely so, was Josiah Hawley, at least in the presence of young ladies, most of all in the presence of the girl he loved. No young farmer in all the country possessed a better kept farm, or talked with more confidence among his compeer of stock and Crops, and on kindred subjects. But the glimpse of some pretty face or foot, coming in his direction, affected him like a flash of lightning. On such occasions he never knew what to do-with his hands and eyes, and always felt like screwing himselt into a mouse hole. How he ever contrived to approach Hester Thomas on the subject of his preference probably remains to this day as much a mystery to himself as it is to others. So your correspondent decidedly confirm all reasonable reports as to the healthfulness of the climate, and to its specific, beneficial effects in long diseases. The winter climate is as essentially necessary to complete, veetoration as the summer climate, even more so, for it ii the warm " open" thawing, changeable winters of Ohio and Illinois that break down constitutions and render recovery from disease difficult. Here the weather is dry, clear, and eold, imparting vigor with every inhaled breath of its bracing air. And therein lies the scientific explanation of the leading virtues of Minnesota air. The moisture, in lower latitudes, falls in copious rains, on tenacious soil, which holds it on the surface to be vaporized by the sun's heat, and made to rise again, filling the air with miasmatic exhalation, the operation continually repeating itself through the entire year.

And so, when Josiah, in his awkward, blundering way, began to exhibit his preference for her in various little ways, such as waiting on her to and from singing school, constituting himself her escort when she rode on horsobaek in the woods, and singling her out at quilting parties. Hettic took it all in the easiest, pleasantest manner possible. The girls laughed, and tho young men cracked sly jokes at the expense of her timid suitor; but Hettie stood up for him independently—encouraging him out of his shyness; never noticed any unfortunate blunder—and very likoly helped hira along considerably when his feelings reached "the culminating point," one moonlight autumn evenyig, as they were walking home together from prayer meeting.

THE WANTS OF T1IE PBOPLE " I suppose it's a queer notion of mine, Hetty, but I have a notion that'man was 'Siah Hawley."" I heard an anecdote that evening of the poet, which was very characteristic, and quite new to me. VLhen at Pisa, his lordship found it difficult to keep up his practice with the pistol on account of tbo objections of his neighbors and tho municipal regulations of the place. He, therefore, by tho aid of a small gratuity, obtained permission from a farmer in the viciuity to shoot at a mark in his paddock. On the occasion of his first visit to the premises, the peasant's daughter, a very pretty contadina, accosted the; bard after tho genial manner of her country. She wore in her bosom a freshlyplucked rose with two buds attached to the stem. Byron sportively asked her to give him the flower. She hesitated, and blushed. He inflintly turned to his companion and rehearsed in English a very natural tale of humble and virtuous love, bitterly contrasting the apparent loyalty of this fair rurtlc with women in high life. Then, with perfect seriousness, he again asked for the rose as a token of sympathy for an nnloved exile. His manner and words moved'the girl to tears. She handed him the rose with a look of compassion, and silently withdrew. The incident aroused his latent superstition. He was lost in a reverie for several minutes, and then inquired of hi* friend if he remembered that Rousseau confessed throwing stones at a tree to test the prospect of his future happiness. The flower was devoted to a similar ordeal. It was carefully attached to an adjaD cent pale, and Byron having withdrawn several paccs, declared his intention of severing one of the buds from the stalk at one fire. He looked very carefully to bis priming, and aimed with great'firmness and deliberation. The ball cut the bud neatly off, and just grazed the leaves of the rose. A bright smile illumined the poet's countenance, and he rode back to Pisa in a flow of spirits."

He made kirn stand upon a large stove, in which a fire wKs kindled. The bear was obliged to dance to keep his feet from burning; meanwhile a musician played a lively tune upon a. Ante. Whenever the bear was made to dance upon the hot iron, the musician played the same merry tune, and the hear supposed the music to be the cause of his pain. And it happened that ever alter, when he heard the musician play upon his flute, be .thought of his former suffering, and began to dance. Seeing this, the oz envied him his fine taste for music, the hone praised him for bis graceful motions, and » thoughtful owl pronounced him the happiest of brutes. "Alas!" said.the bear,"my apparent gaiety hides my real distress : I love neither music nor mirth: I carry a secret grief, and my dancing is prompted by the memory of pais." There is no being more miserable than the professional clown or harlequin. Folly is often a mask for grief and nnhappiness. A coLonEn witness was examined in a Washington city court, to prove the identity of a white man, the other day.

" About two months after this meeting, I received an invitation to breakfast with Lord Hailes ( Sir David Dalrymple). Next morning during breakfast he asked me if I recollected the curious question about the possibility of recovering the contents of the New Testament from the writings of the first three centuries.— I replied,' I remember it well, and have thoughtof it often without being able to form any opinion or conjocture on the subject.'

They intend to keep good workmen employed constantly, and the public can get their work done at all times and punctually.- " Minnesota, all the year round, is one vast hospital. All her cities and towns, and many of her farm houses, are crowded with those fleeing from the approach of the dread destroyer. Of course, among so many, a large number cannot recover. This i« the last straw at which they clutch, and it is vain. They come too late. They die here as they would have died At home, as soon or sooner. Others come early in the summer, and remain two or three months.— They are greatly benefitted. They think themselves well, and return to their homes in September, the worst month , in the year. They plungo again into J.he cares and pmrsuiU,—an immunity from which has been a great part of the medicine. Their old onemy returns with greater violence, and thvs they soon yield to its power. Others still remain here. They transfer hither their business and their families, tear out the million fibres that.bind them to the homes and associations oi youth, and plant themselves with their interest in this young and thrifty empire. They, if My, are the one* who succeed " 'Well,' said Lord Hailes, 'that question quite accorded with the turn or tastes ofjny antiquarian mind. On returning home, as I knew I had all tho writers CJf those centuries, I began immediately to collect them, that I might set to work on the arduous task as' soon as possible.' Pointing to a table covered with papers, be said: 'There have! been busy for these two months, searching for chapters, half-chapters, and sentences of the New Testament, and have marked outrwhat I have found, and where I have found it, so that any person may examine and see for himself. I have aotaally discovered the wholet New Testament, except seven or eleven verses ( I forgot which); which satisfies me that I could discover them also. Now, he added,' here was a way in which God conoealed or hid the treasures of His Word, that Julian, the apostate emperor, and other enemies of Christ who wished to extirpate tho gospel from the world, never would have thought of; and though they had, they never could have effected their destruction."

Scranton, May 2,1807—ly Proprie tor. He was bashful, extremely so, was Josiah Hawley, at least in the presence of young ladies, most of all in the presence of the girl he loved. No young farmer in all the country possessed a better kept farm, or talked with more confidence among his compeer of stock and Crops, and on kindred subjects. But the glimpse of some pretty face or foot, coming in his direction, affected him like a flash of lightning. On such occasions he never knew what to do-with his hands and eyes, and always felt like screwing himselt into a mouse hole. How he ever contrived to approach Hester Thomas on the subject of his preference probably remains to this day as much a mystery to himself as it is to others. So your correspondent decidedly confirm all reasonable reports as to the healthfulness of the climate, and to its specific, beneficial effects in long diseases. The winter climate is as essentially necessary to complete, veetoration as the summer climate, even more so, for it ii the warm " open" thawing, changeable winters of Ohio and Illinois that break down constitutions and render recovery from disease difficult. Here the weather is dry, clear, and eold, imparting vigor with every inhaled breath of its bracing air. And therein lies the scientific explanation of the leading virtues of Minnesota air. The moisture, in lower latitudes, falls in copious rains, on tenacious soil, which holds it on the surface to be vaporized by the sun's heat, and made to rise again, filling the air with miasmatic exhalation, the operation continually repeating itself through the entire year.

Many years ago. an "assault and battery" ease came up before a magistrate in Western Ohio, in which a lawyer named Ellis was the defendant's counselor, and Elder Gilruth, a Methodist preacher was the plaintiff's most important witness.

And so, when Josiah, in his awkward, blundering way, began to exhibit his preference for her in various little ways, such as waiting on her to and from singing school, constituting himself her escort when she rode on horsobaek in the woods, and singling her out at quilting parties. Hettic took it all in the easiest, pleasantest manner possible. The girls laughed, and tho young men cracked sly jokes at the expense of her timid suitor; but Hettie stood up for him independently—encouraging him out of his shyness; never noticed any unfortunate blunder—and very likoly helped hira along considerably when his feelings reached "the culminating point," one moonlight autumn evenyig, as they were walking home together from prayer meeting.

THE WANTS OF T1IE PBOPLE " I suppose it's a queer notion of mine, Hetty, but I have a notion that'man was 'Siah Hawley."" I heard an anecdote that evening of the poet, which was very characteristic, and quite new to me. VLhen at Pisa, his lordship found it difficult to keep up his practice with the pistol on account of tbo objections of his neighbors and tho municipal regulations of the place. He, therefore, by tho aid of a small gratuity, obtained permission from a farmer in the viciuity to shoot at a mark in his paddock. On the occasion of his first visit to the premises, the peasant's daughter, a very pretty contadina, accosted the; bard after tho genial manner of her country. She wore in her bosom a freshlyplucked rose with two buds attached to the stem. Byron sportively asked her to give him the flower. She hesitated, and blushed. He inflintly turned to his companion and rehearsed in English a very natural tale of humble and virtuous love, bitterly contrasting the apparent loyalty of this fair rurtlc with women in high life. Then, with perfect seriousness, he again asked for the rose as a token of sympathy for an nnloved exile. His manner and words moved'the girl to tears. She handed him the rose with a look of compassion, and silently withdrew. The incident aroused his latent superstition. He was lost in a reverie for several minutes, and then inquired of hi* friend if he remembered that Rousseau confessed throwing stones at a tree to test the prospect of his future happiness. The flower was devoted to a similar ordeal. It was carefully attached to an adjaD cent pale, and Byron having withdrawn several paccs, declared his intention of severing one of the buds from the stalk at one fire. He looked very carefully to bis priming, and aimed with great'firmness and deliberation. The ball cut the bud neatly off, and just grazed the leaves of the rose. A bright smile illumined the poet's countenance, and he rode back to Pisa in a flow of spirits."

He made kirn stand upon a large stove, in which a fire wKs kindled. The bear was obliged to dance to keep his feet from burning; meanwhile a musician played a lively tune upon a. Ante. Whenever the bear was made to dance upon the hot iron, the musician played the same merry tune, and the hear supposed the music to be the cause of his pain. And it happened that ever alter, when he heard the musician play upon his flute, be .thought of his former suffering, and began to dance. Seeing this, the oz envied him his fine taste for music, the hone praised him for bis graceful motions, and » thoughtful owl pronounced him the happiest of brutes. "Alas!" said.the bear,"my apparent gaiety hides my real distress : I love neither music nor mirth: I carry a secret grief, and my dancing is prompted by the memory of pais."
